It's very difficult to find - the directions indicate that Venice Star is between “Ponte Widmann” and “Campo Maria Nova” but you actually walk across Ponte Widmann. turn right, and walk along the canal to find the door. It took us an hour. There's no staff on-site so you have to hope someone answers and buzzes you in, then comes from the "sister hostel" to meet you. The bathroom was bigger than our bedroom, but everything was clean and we felt safe with 3 locks between us and the outside.

Very nice and clean, were able to leave baggage there after check out for the day felt safe. Nice airconed room to ourselves, shared bathroom was very clean. Kind man gave us a map and provided toast, teas and coffe for breakfast even though didn't advertise breakfast was include. Very close walk to Rialto bridge as was able to catch ferry down grand canal from bridge allowing easy access to all around . We even walked back from st marks to accom and didn feel far at all. Wifi was good also.

We got lost trying to find the hostel. The directions given are not good, but once you figure out where it is you will be fine. The room was very nice, and the bathrooms were kept really clean. There was an issue with our keys due to a guest being kicked out before we got there and it took us a while to get a hold of someone so we could get into our room. I think this was just a fluke though because it was our only bump in the road while staying.

The rooms were very clean the only problem was they were very hot and the air conditioning which was advertised was non existent it was heating not cooling. Apart from that minor thing it was excellent and close to st marks square

The hostel was very nice, clean, located in a convenient area. However, upon arriving, there was a sign on the door indicating to call the owner to inform him of our arrival. I was disappointed because I had to call several times before someone picked up the phone. This would be a very big problem for anyone lacking access to a phone or someone arriving late at night. In addition, the owner of the hostel was nowhere to be found just present for the payment. Howver, we were pleased with our stay.

Location was pretty good. It's on the actual island of venice not outside of it which is great. Venice is small so everything is within walking distance. This place is VERY clean, good wifi, gives you breakfast like bread, jams, ceral, coffee, tea, juice. There's a kitchen and a fridge for the guests. There is a 3 euro charger per night per person as a venice tax that's not included in the price. I wasn't aware of it but it is listed on the website. Good place to stay for any amount of time!

Very good stay, the hostel had a kitchen at our disposal and offered breakfast ! The bathroom was wide and clean, and the appartments have been remade recently so everything is quite modern. We would definetely come back.

I really enjoyed staying here. It's a nice location on the main island, walking distance to everything and very easy to get to from Fondamente Nova water stop. Quiet area even though our beds were really squeaky! Very clean, nice bathrooms. Would definitely recommend.

We were hoping to find with easily since the directions seemed simple enough but after no luck locating the street we ended up going back and forth between the areas until we found the number of the hostel. There was no sign saying the name but the buzzer had the name thank god! The bathrooms were super clean as was the room. Good size bed and room. Not a terrible stay but Venice it self was a maze that could gwy mighty frustrating.

You cannot beat the location! To be walking distance from Ponte Rialto and Piazza del San Marco is wonderful. The hostel was more of an apartment, with only 6 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. It was quiet but the walls are thin and we were awoken by people taking showers in the bathroom closest to us. The complimentary breakfast was great! It also gave us time to sit with other travellers and get to know people. The hostel was very clean and it did come with free towels.

Clean place, good bathroom facilities and comfy beds.
However very disorganized! When we arrived there was a complete mess up with the rooms and we had to share a dorm with two other people. I personally had no problem with this but that's besides the point, it shouldn't of happened. On top of that, they also did not have enough keys! This was just bizzare! I had to stay up later than I wanted to let the other two people we were sharing a room with back into the hostel! GET MORE KEYS!

It was a grateful surprise stayed 2 nights in this amazing hostel which looks like more a bed and breakfast. All staffs are really polite and respectful. Even the check out was 11h they allowed me and my boyfriend stayed in the hostel until 13h. All rooms are really comfortable and clean. Even I had to share the bathrooms it was not a problem because all the time they were clean. Really great location.

This place has a great location - 15 minutes to St. Marks and just a couple minutes from the main water bus stop. The staff was exceptionally friendly. The rooms were nice, and it was nice to have a small breakfast! The kitchen was big enough that we could make dinner for ourselves. There were only two bathrooms for 10 people, but it seemed to work fine. Would definitely stay here again if I come back to Venice :)
